Take care of your Chevrolet K10 Suburban and it'll take care of you. With proactive maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your K10 Suburban. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your K10 Suburban, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 1985 Chevrolet K10 Suburban!

Chevrolet knows your vehicle inside and out (they made it, after all!), so they’ve designed this schedule with your car’s unique needs in mind. Depending on driving conditions and climate in your area (as well as other contributing factors, like your personal travel habits), your car’s scheduled maintenance needs may vary; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your K10 Suburban running for longer, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1985 Chevrolet K10 Suburban problems later.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1985 Chevrolet K10 Suburban for factory-recommended routine maintenance and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your K10 Suburban. We’ll check your head and tail lights, fluid levels, filters, tires (and their alignment!), and windshield wiper blades. We’ll also perform a free battery check to determine your battery’s charge level.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 1985 Chevrolet K10 Suburban. If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and five years). There’s a chance you’ll need a replacement sooner, but it depends on the climate in your area as well as your driving habits. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Chevrolet K10 Suburban battery, and so can frequent short drives. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty K10 Suburban) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Chevrolet K10 Suburban won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.
